Hashport, the Hedera network bridge, is shutting down on May 31, 2026 at 12:00 UTC - leaving users just 6 weeks to act.
Critical Action Required:
- Check ALL wallets (including cold storage) for wrapped assets like WETH[hts] and USDC[hts]
- Even small token balances must be "unported" back to native chains (Ethereum, Polygon, etc.)
- After May 31, there will be no automated way to reclaim your native tokens
Important Notes:
- Original token issuers (Circle, WETH) are NOT handling redemptions - only hashport can process them
- SaucerSwap liquidity providers must withdraw wrapped assets from pools first
- Wrapped assets will lose their redemption path and value if not moved before deadline
Resources:
- Unport assets: app.hashport.network
- Full token list: hashport.network/token-list
- Complete guide: Medium announcement
Don't wait - take 5 minutes this weekend to secure your bridged assets.
Hedera Builds Trustless Digital Identity Infrastructure for Cross-Chain Future
**Hedera is developing core infrastructure for trustless digital identity** as blockchain ecosystems become increasingly interconnected. The network is positioning itself to address a critical need: **verifiable identity across multiple chains**. As users and digital assets move between different blockchain networks, establishing trusted identity becomes essential for security and functionality. **Key developments:** - Hedera assembling digital identity primitives - Focus on cross-chain compatibility - Integration with existing bridge infrastructure [Hashport](http://app.hashport.network) serves as the connecting bridge, enabling asset movement between networks while supporting this emerging identity layer. The timing aligns with growing demand for **seamless cross-chain experiences** without compromising security or user verification standards. *This infrastructure could become foundational as Web3 moves toward true interoperability.*
Hashport Expands Integration with GCoin and Bonzo Finance

Hashport has expanded its cross-chain capabilities with two notable integrations: - Successfully integrated Gilmore Estates' GCoin ($GC) in December 2024 - Supporting Bonzo Finance, Hedera's new lending protocol, by enabling asset migration from popular EVM networks **Key Benefits:** - Users can now port GCoin across supported networks - Access to competitive lending rates on Bonzo Finance - Seamless asset migration from EVM-compatible blockchains to Hedera *Integration enables broader DeFi participation and enhanced liquidity across networks.*
Hedera and DOVU Partner to Enhance Carbon Credit Transparency
**Hedera** and **DOVU** have launched a new initiative to improve carbon credit tracking and transparency through blockchain technology. Key developments: - DOVU's carbon credits now fully traceable on Hedera network - Enhanced verification system for environmental impact - Integration with existing sustainability frameworks This collaboration marks a significant step toward bringing greater accountability to carbon offset markets. The system allows for real-time tracking and verification of carbon credits, helping organizations better manage their environmental commitments. *Want to learn more about carbon credit tokenization?* Visit Hedera's documentation portal.
